You are definitely right that computer players are missing some kind of narative-based reasoning for their own moves and for their oppoents' moves. In go it doesn't feel that extreme though. We're taught not to hold too hard to our plans anyway, and most good moves from the opponent will have more than one intention. So you can't get that far relying just on reading what their goal is. How computers think isn't exactly how we do, for go, but it's close enough to rhyme pretty heavily imo.
